teaching loads

Denise Martin requests information about teaching loads:
At Georgian Court College, a liberal arts college with an
M.S. in Biology Program, most of the faculty teach at the
undergraduate and graduate level.
1. The teaching load for all faculty is 12 contact hours per
semester, and while overloads are permitted, underloads are
not (they cannot be carried forward to an overload
semester).
2. Teaching load hours for all faculty at the college are
based on contact hours. In other words, a three hour lab
counts as three hours, as do three hours of lecture.
3. We do not have any TA's for undergraduate or graduate
courses. We do have one undergraduate and one graduate
laboratory coordinator who orders supplies and oversees
student workers, who will gather laboratory materials and
make solutions, etc. The only person in the laboratory
during the laboratory is the faculty member.
4. The Sciences are treated like the Liberal Arts.
